Creating a Scheduling Policy

If you require a scheduling policy that is not available in the default set provided by the Manager, you can create a custom scheduling policy.

Note:

To learn about the default scheduling policies and for conceptual information, see High Availability and Optimization in the Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager: Architecture and Planning Guide. For detailed information on scheduling policies and other policy types, refer to the Administration Guide in oVirt Documentation.

5. In Filter Modules:
   • Drag and drop modules from the Disabled Filters section to the Enabled Filters section.
   • Optionally, set the module priority by right-clicking on a filter module name, hover over Position and then select First or Last.
6. In Weights Modules:
   • Drag and drop modules from the Disabled Weights section to the Enabled Weights & Factors section.
